A joint project of [Cubo Arkitekter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/10m) and HLM Arkitektur, the Bergen University College campus incorporates former buildings that have been restored to make up the "[campus town](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wolves-lane-centre)" area, housing the residence, cafeteria, gym and library. The campus aims to create a space conducive to learning and collaboration, while they have also designed the auditoriums and classrooms to offer views of the courtyard and scenery, which will aid in student well-being. The campus offers space for students of all three programs to study surrounded by their peers or common areas that encourage interaction across the disciplines. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Collaboration-focused Campus Designs:** The trend of campus designs that emphasize collaboration among students to improve learning outcomes. - **Restoration and Adaptive Reuse of Existing Buildings:** The trend of repurposing existing infrastructures to create innovative and sustainable campus spaces. - **Well-being and Nature-inspired Learning Environments:** A trend that advocates for campus designs that incorporate elements of nature to enhance student well-being and encourage creativity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create innovative and sustainable campus spaces. - **Education:** Opportunity for educators to create collaboration-focused and nature-inspired learning environments. - **Real Estate and Property Development:** Opportunity for developers to repurpose existing infrastructures into innovative and sustainable campus spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ancient Construction Campus Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faroe-islands.md) - [Clustered Natural Campus Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hongik-university.md) - [Traditional Sustainable School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/universidad-ean-1.md) - [Angular Educational Facilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oarvemtta.md) - [Modern Medical Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentonville-school.md) - [Blue-Toned School Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuquiang-school.md) - [Pool Reinvention Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waltham-forest-college.md) - [Reindeer Herding School Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oarvemtta-education-hub.md) - [Brutalist Converted Learning Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipelago.md)
